While I believe in the transcendent, I think my version is quite different from yours. No problem there of course, as long as we're both happy with what works for us.

Do I have a spirit? Do animals have spirits? What has a spirit? What is a spirit? I don't know. A person who believes in something called materialistic reductionism would think that we are nothing more than biological parts working via chemical reactions and electrical impulses. I don't believe that either.

I'm hoping to meditate on this subject and see if I can get things more specific for myself. I've been too ill to do this. Which is why I sit and type on the computer instead LOL.
